The rise of the prehistoric human race

Chapter 495

At the beginning of this journey to the west, Duobao Tathagata felt blocked everywhere, and the luck of Western Buddhism not only did not increase, but was slightly reduced.

Something is wrong, something is extraordinarily wrong!

Among them, there must be some variables that are unfavorable to Western Buddhism. That's why Duobao Tathagata came to discuss with Bodhi Patriarch.

From Duobao Tathagata's point of view, the people who traveled to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures should be the number of the five elements, but now that the little white dragon has passed away, and the remaining two have not yet joined the Buddhist scriptures team, the biggest variable in this journey to the West may be Tang Sanzang , or Monkey King.

Even Duobao Tathagata is a little certain that the variable of Journey to the West is Tang Sanzang, or it is the hidden hand of the Western religion, Jin Chanzi!
But now that Patriarch Bodhi said this, Duobao Tathagata was a little surprised and uncertain. Could there be clues that he didn't see?
Patriarch Bodhi smiled slightly and explained: "Tathagata, since the opening of this prehistoric world, there have been thousands of people who seek the Tao, but very few people who have attained the Tao. Most of them are limited by their aptitude, while some are because of the Tao. The road runs counter to others, but in the end you can’t fight, you can’t win. It’s good to have no hope on the road, but it’s normal to turn into ashes.”

Seeing Duobao Tathagata on the opposite side with a dignified face, Patriarch Bodhi didn't try to make a fuss, but continued to say: "Tathagata, there is no theory for this matter, and the poor Taoist is just telling you to listen.

Just like Pan Gu and the three thousand chaotic gods and demons are the enemies of the Dao, the two Dao cannot coexist, only one side can survive, there is no compromise.

It's also like in ancient times, the Taoist ancestor and the demon ancestor can also be called the enemies of the Dao. Obviously, the Taoist ancestor won in the end.

Even closer, do the three clans of dragon, phoenix, and unicorn, and the two clans of witch and demon count?Sometimes, either someone has done something wrong, or the path he is simply going against others leads to a hopeless path in the end.Pindao was thinking, is it true that Duobao is the same as you, that's why the road to Dao is so difficult. "

Duobao Tathagata shrank his eyes suddenly, his face was a little indifferent, and he said indifferently: "Oh? Fellow Bodhi, you have something in your words."

Patriarch Bodhi laughed, without any embarrassment at all, and said directly: "Tathagata, the poor Taoist is not lying to you, you must think that the variable in Journey to the West is just that golden cicada, or your heart ape, right? But you Have you ever thought that it is people outside the scripture learning team that hinder the great prosperity of Buddhism?"

The words of Patriarch Bodhi were already Chi Guoguo's point of view, so he almost stuffed this person's name into Duobao Tathagata's mouth.

Besides Jiang Shi, the leader of the Jiejiao, who else could it be?
But Duobao Tathagata's expression remained unchanged, he was neither annoyed nor surprised, he just smiled lightly: "Friend Bodhi, I'm not here today to discuss with you the variables on the Westward Journey, but I don't need to talk about my Dao, the great prosperity of Buddhism That’s more important, let’s get back to the topic.”

Patriarch Bodhi was taken aback for a moment, but didn't say anything more, nodded, and said with a smile: "Shan, Tathagata, tell me."

In fact, the meaning of Patriarch Bodhi's words is short of directly stating that he feels that the variable in Journey to the West is Jiang Shi, the leader of the sect.But Duobao Tathagata obviously didn't want to talk about this aspect, and if he continued to talk about it, it would be a bit ill-intentioned, and the relationship with the two of them was not good.

Patriarch Bodhi thought for a while and asked, "Tathagata, what have you discovered, why don't you tell me about it?"

Duobao Tathagata shouted the Buddha's name, and then said in a deep voice: "I used to have doubts about both the sutra learner and the heart ape. After all, there are only two people in the sutra pilgrimage team now. But now, I suspect that the golden cicada Will it be the biggest variable in Journey to the West?"

Buddhist scripture learners, will they be the biggest variable on the way to learn scriptures?

When I say this, I am afraid that those who hear it will laugh out loud.

But Patriarch Bodhi didn't mean to ridicule, instead he asked with interest: "Tathagata, why do you say that?"

Since Duobao Tathagata dared to say this, he must have already guessed, so he expressed all his doubts: "On this journey to the West, our Western Buddhism has arranged ninety-nine and eighty-one catastrophes, and we need people who learn scriptures to go through the catastrophes." , just obtained the scriptures. But now, the person who learned the scriptures avoided the disaster directly and disrupted the layout."

Patriarch Bodhi thought for a while, but shook his head: "It's not easy to explain, and some accidents are possible. Is there anything else?"

"Of course!" Duobao Rulai went on to say, "Friend Bodhi, tell me, where did the Journey to the West not go well?"

"This..." Patriarch Bodhi stroked his long beard, but didn't speak directly, but just looked at Duobao Tathagata.

"Although that Jiang Shi reversed the yin and yang of the Buddhist scriptures, he really didn't intervene too much later, so I didn't regard him as a variable in the journey to the West. The great cause of the Westward Journey was not smooth, because the Buddhists passed by the Five Elements Mountain and were beaten to death by the monkey. started."

The expression on Duobao Rulai's face was a little playful: "It is reasonable to say that the Poor Monkey killed the pilgrim, and the variable is more likely to be the Poor Monkey. But the pilgrim passed by the Five Elements Mountain and did not save the monkey head immediately. Is it true? Did you miss it, or did you do it on purpose? If you really missed this monkey head, there will be one less person in the sutra learning team to share your luck."

Patriarch Bodhi's complexion changed slightly, and his body was quite upright, apparently waiting for Tathagata's next words.

"And that Tang Sanzang died one after another, so the problem is even bigger." Duobao Rulai continued, "Whether he was killed by the monkey head, or he was killed by the magic spell later, it seems to be a coincidence, but it is a bit too coincidental. Not to mention that later Tang Sanzang beat Xiao Bailong to death with a Zen stick, and the Journey to the West team lost another person. Tell me, the one who has benefited the most after Journey to the West is not he, the Buddhist scripturer?"

After a pause, Duobao Rulai said seriously: "I suspect that this Tang Sanzang, or Jin Chanzi, is not ignorant. Could he be deliberately excluding candidates arranged by the Buddhist sect, so that he can finally occupy the momentum of the Buddhist sect's great prosperity?" Luck, to prove the supreme fruit in one fell swoop?
He died one after another because he deliberately used his own life to gamble that the Western Buddhists must do their best to save him, and the spread of Buddhism to the East cannot be separated from him.

And now that Jin Chanzi has recovered part of his cultivation, he can earn benefits for himself without anyone noticing on his journey to the west.

Friends Bodhi, don’t want the two of us to work so hard to plan a match, but end up making wedding clothes for others. "

The last sentence, Duobao Tathagata said it with profound meaning, even Patriarch Bodhi nodded his fingertips lightly, obviously thinking about something.

"Tathagata, do you have evidence?"

Patriarch Bodhi opened his mouth and asked. After Jing Duobao said this, he also had some doubts about the sutra learners.

But Duobao Rulai shook his head: "If this golden cicada has really recovered Su Hui, it is very likely that it is the hidden son left by the sage in the prehistoric wilderness. You and I are very clear about the methods of the sage. How could it be?" It's so easy to find a flaw. But, I have a way to verify one or two."

"Oh?" Patriarch Bodhi's eyes were slightly different, and he asked: "Tathagata, come and listen to me!"
